On the left, the ball of the little sentences continues. After the polemical remarks of the leader of the Communist Party Fabien Roussel on the “AlloCs”, the barbecues “symbols of virility” of the ecological deputy of Paris Sandrine Rousseau, at the turn of Jean-Luc Mélenchon to give in to the protruding in the shape of a provocation. “On October 5 and 6, 1789 women walked on Versailles against dear life. They bring back the king, queen and dolphin of force in Paris under popular control. Do better on October 16,” he wrote Thursday October 6 on Twitter, inviting the French to participate en masse in his “big march” of Sunday October 16 against expensive life and climate inaction.
No doubt was the desired effect, the comparison of its demonstration with the French Revolution created the stir in the political class. Government spokesperson Olivier Véran saw it “a call for disguised social violence”. “This is not the first time that he has exceeded the terminals, he has been in excess all the time,” he denounced on Friday, on BFM-TV, about the leader of France Insoumise (LFI).
But Jean-Luc Mélenchon especially made the new Ecological and Social Popular Union (Nuts) tremble, recalling the differences of style as well as of form that exist between the different political parties of the Union of the Left. “There Jean-Luc you can do better. Provocation is not always the best way to be heard, replied the first secretary of the Socialist Party (PS), Olivier Faure, on Twitter. Neither king nor queen. We will have neither pique nor fork. Our mobilization will be non -violent and her strength is her message: justice against social disorder. “
The eagerness of Olivier Faure to dissociate himself from the founder of LFI owes nothing to chance. Three months from a congress where he plays his re -election, the leader of the PS faces a growing number of dissatisfied, who criticize him for having subservient to the “rebellious”, and for insufficiently hearing the voice of the movement in the public opinion. Its historic dissidents, led by the mayor of Vaulx-en-Velin (Rhône), Hélène Geoffroy, also called him to “suspend the participation” of the PS in the march of Mélenchon. Faced with internal oppositions, the first secretary will try to be more audible. “These outrageousness are starting to annoy us. LFI is not the NUPS, we will have to distinguish ourselves more and more,” confirms a loved one.
